Dear Carroll Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have fond memories of visiting Maw with Ashley when I was younger. She was always so sweet and funny. I havent seen her in quite some time but I know the world was a better place with her in it. Many people will be suffering this loss along with you.

Dear Bobby, Doug, Barbara and family....your moma was family to me. I enjoyed the twinkle in her eye and quick wit as did so many others but mostly I admired her ability to make anyone she was speaking with feel as if THEY were the most important person in the room. She motivated and encouraged me over the years through many of life adventures. I will always remember her with great love and fond memories. Thanks to all of you for sharing her, a real lady, with me. I will treasure that gift always. I can't imagine going back to visit PA without bringing "Maw" some sesame crisps!

Dear Carroll Family,
My husband & I were shocked to hear of Miss Betty's death. Warren has know her for over 30 years & I've had the pleasure of knowing her for the past 7 years.
She was always a joy to talk with & be around & always had a 'comeback' for everything. Her sense of humor & love of life & family were an inspiration to us. We're sure she is in Heaven now wondering how it ever ran without her. We share in your sorrow.
